  • Ava first called him The Black Knight in a late-night moment, long before she met him. Just a girl trying to grasp modern romance’s chaos. Years later, her friend Sienna discovers Ava’s old poem about him, realising that this elusive figure embodies the clarity Ava always yearned for in love.

    Before They Had the Language
  • Ava shows up late, ready to share her romantic drama with Sienna, who remains skeptical. They dissect Ava’s interactions, revealing patterns in relationships, self-deception, and the difference between longing and real connection. It’s messy but insightful, and they acknowledge how their “research” helps them understand their emotional lives better.

    Field Research
  • Ava and Sienna discuss the complexities of relationships, focusing on behavioural patterns instead of people. They categorise types like “The Charmer” and “The Black Knight,” revealing what love really feels like. It’s a sharp observation of connections, not about judging others, but understanding feelings better.

    The Black Knight Taxonomy
  • Ava and Sienna reflect on a pivotal moment from their past where Ava jokingly requested the universe to send her a “Black Knight,” symbolising an emotionally steady man. Years later, Ava encounters such a man, prompting Sienna to document the event, exploring expectation, emotional connection, and the possible creation of personal lore.

    The Shape of a Myth
